Drug Dealers - Death Penalty?

[91FXRS]

If you want to shoot the people responsible for pushing the most drug addiction, you probably need to start with quite a few pharmaceutical execs, quite a few regulators, quite a few elected representatives, and quite a few doctors.

Street dealers are going to be way way way down the list if we are talking about actual numbers of addicts created...

Examining national-level general population heroin data (including those in and not in treatment), nearly 80 percent of heroin users reported using prescription opioids prior to heroin

I've always heard that marijuana was a gateway drug, but it seems doctors are.

Let's start with child molesters and rapists first.

I absolutely favor the DP being an option on those cases, but alas the Supreme Court decided that would be too mean back in the 70s...

I sometimes question if some of them weren't on drugs.

Weird, right? Its almost like El Chappo saw a business opportunity in the wake of Purdue Pharmaceutical's government aided mass distribution of opiates.

3 Purdue execs were convicted of intentionally lying about the addictive qualities of their drugs. None saw a single day in jail.

Not even a close analogy .....not even close.

what analogy?

And most of those users got the opioids from.... Wait for it... A drug dealer who robbed a pharmacy or sold his prescription.

Drug Dealers = Predators taking advantage of the weak minded.

Line em up, shoot em down.






I understand that the "libertarian" way is to legalize everything because it's a victimless crime and all that but that's actually wrong and to believe that make you a part of the problem. Just one of so many reasons that I'm not a libertarian.

you make a compelling case.

If somebody is just looking for a high there are plenty of options not to start with stolen prescription opioids

Nope, not even close. Free samples were given out by Purdue though to make sure every patient could get a taste...

Look up when bodies like the American Pain Society were founded, how they were founded, and what happened to doctors who didn't get on board with taking end of life drugs and dumping them into the public.

Not even close to being the same as heroin addicts looking for opioids.

I can't tell you the times I've mix those two up.

LOL. I wanted to post under that "made you look" lol.
Because it would have made me go back and make sure I didn't mix them up lol

Wow. I wasn't even aware of that. Unreal

I think you're confused. 80% admitted that their first opioid was from a PRESCRIPTION!

From the same link...

"Of those who began abusing opioids in the 2000s, 75 percent reported that their first opioid was a prescription drug"

Because everyone's going to admit to being a heroin addict. Makes sense.

What? The heroin addicts were created when pill addicts realized that you could get the same fix with $80 of heroin as $300 of pills.

The vast majority of heroin addictsin this country started out with an opiate pill addiction, most of whom received it via prescription.

If you have no idea what you're talking about, maybe you should stop talking. Heroin was a tiny percent of drug addiction in this country until the opiate pill deluge.

100% of all drug stores robbed for opioids had opioids behind the counter
